A data protection framework for trans-European genetic research projects.
The paper proposes a data protection framework for trans-European medical research projects, which is based on a technical security infrastructure as well as on organizational measures and contractual obligations. It mainly relies on pseudonymization, an internal Data Protection Authority and on a Trusted Third Party. The outcome is an environment that combines both good research conditions and an extensive protection of patients' privacy.
